The mother of the Hou family eavesdropped on my inner thoughts and went crazy, I won by sucking milk

Jiang Lingyi's expression changed slightly and she pursed her lips.

I couldn't help but take a breath.

Confused, "Could it be...sister, you want to marry the prince?"

Jiang Wanqing immediately understood that her elder brother had misunderstood her meaning.

He quickly explained: "That's not what I meant. I meant, among the four princes, doesn't father think that one of them is most suitable to be the emperor?"

Jiang Lingyi raised her eyebrows slightly.

He couldn't help laughing and said helplessly: "You also know that our father is a rough man who only knows how to fight. How can he understand these twists and turns? If you let him choose, he will definitely say that he will choose whoever the emperor chooses. If you let him choose by himself, he will not get involved in this muddy water!"

Jiang Wanqing closed her lips tightly when she heard this.

Eyes flickering and gaze moving.

If you say that my father is a rough man, that's not entirely true.

After all, he still knew to hand over the military power.

She also knew to avoid suspicion and was not allowed to marry the prince.

pity…

Jiang Wanqing rubbed her drooping fingers.

There was a flash of coldness in his eyes.

Then he raised his head and looked at Jiang Lingyi.

He smiled slowly and said, "Brother, even if father does this, I'm afraid... the emperor will still be suspicious of our family. It would be better to go all out and take his position!"

Jiang Lingyi quickly stepped forward and covered Jiang Wanqing's mouth.

There was surprise in his eyes.

His eyebrows slightly frowned: "Sister, do you know what you are saying? If father knew this, you would definitely be beaten. Although father holds military power, he has never thought about that position. I haven't either, and your other brothers are not interested in it either."

Jiang Wanqing reached out and pushed Jiang Lingyi's hand away.

Look directly into Jiang Lingyi's eyes.

Seriously and solemnly said: "What if I have it?"

Jiang Lingyi shook her body slightly and couldn't help but take a step back.

Opened his mouth.

She seemed to be incredulous and said, "Sister, are you kidding me?"

Jiang Wanqing met Jiang Lingyi's eyes.

Still firmly said: "You know, I never lie to you, brother. I know you always believe what I say."

Jiang Lingyi had a complicated expression.

I was silent for a while, still finding it hard to digest the news I had just heard.

With some difficulty, he asked: "But you are a woman...how do you..."

How dare you be so bold...

Jiang Lingyi didn't say the last sentence.

And Jiang Wanqing no longer planned to hide it.

She looked directly at Jiang Lingyi, "Actually, I was wrong just now. I lied to my elder brother. Even in the dream, the fate of our family was not what I said, and my elder brother did not protect me."

Jiang Lingyi's pupils shrank slightly.

Gritting his teeth: "Then... our family..."

Before he could finish his words.

There was a hint of hatred in Jiang Wanqing's eyes.

Then he continued, "My father and mother did not have a good end, and my brothers were either dead or disabled. And I... wasted my life in the Marquis' Mansion, and eventually my limbs were broken, and I drank a cup of poison and died miserably. Xiaoxiao also died young."

Jiang Lingyi's face changed drastically.

It was just a momentary shock.

Take him to react.

The anger in his eyes could not be hidden.

At first, he believed what his sister said.

When he learned that there really was medicine in the jewelry box that could prevent women from getting pregnant, he believed it completely.

He thought that in that dream, the fate of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, with so many merits, would at most be to become common people.

But what Jiang Lingyi didn't expect was.

My whole family would have such a tragic end.

And his sister, whom he had raised with great care and whom he loved the most, was actually being tortured like that.

Jiang Wanqing saw that Jiang Lingyi was slow to speak.

I thought Jiang Lingyi didn't believe it.

Then he explained, "Brother, everything I said is true. I have fulfilled it one by one. From Zhou Zigu hiding in the house in the south of the city and secretly raising a mistress, to you and your sister-in-law being plotted against for having children, you have to believe me."

Jiang Lingyi didn't say anything.

He just walked in front of Jiang Wanqing.

He looked at Jiang Wanqing with complicated eyes, and then touched Jiang Wanqing's head.

There was a hint of self-blame in his tone: "I'm sorry, sister, I'm useless. I didn't protect my family in my last life, nor did I protect you... In this life, I have to let you plan all these by yourself. In the future, you don't have to work so hard, and I will help you."

Feeling the sad atmosphere emanating from Jiang Lingyi.

Jiang Wanqing's heart also began to feel uncomfortable for a moment.

Jiang Wanqing tried hard to smile: "But at least we have a chance to start over, right? But brother, don't mention this to anyone else for now."

Jiang Lingyi was puzzled: "Why?"

Jiang Wanqing explained: "If more people know about it, I'm afraid there will be changes. I'm afraid that the problems we would have encountered will become things I haven't dreamed of, and we won't be able to deal with them in advance. Now, big brother, you just need to deal with the fake copper coin case, and I will tell you about other things. In addition, we have to find a prince and we need to take sides."

The current Duke Zhenguo's Mansion has been cast under suspicion.

And in the whole world, the only one who can compete with the emperor is the emperor's son.

They need to find a prince to control these relationships.

Jiang Lingyi could also understand Jiang Wanqing's concerns.

Then he nodded: "Okay, I understand what my sister is thinking. Among the four princes, I will give it more consideration."

Speaking of which.

In fact, Jiang Lingyi was also unsure.

He has also been in the court for several years.

If he were asked to choose a suitable prince.

To be honest, he felt that none of these four were good enough.

But now, I can only pick out someone who is not so bad from the bad ones.

"Oh, right," Jiang Lingyi suddenly thought of something, "your second brother will be back the day after tomorrow, on the Shangsi Festival in three days."

After Jiang Lingyi's reminder.

Jiang Wanqing finally reacted.

Look at Jiang Wanqing's appearance.

Jiang Lingyi suddenly asked uncertainly, "Could it be that... in your dream, your second brother... would also have problems because of the Shangsi Festival?"

Meeting Jiang Lingyi's inquiring gaze, Jiang Wanqing nodded.

Jiang Lingyi sighed deeply.

His brows were tightly furrowed, showing an unrelieved worry.

Jiang Wanqing said that these brothers were either dead or injured.

I am afraid that there are still many things to face in the future...

Then, he said seriously, "Sister, I will take care of the two things you mentioned. If there is anything else you need me to do, just tell me."

"There really is one thing!"

Jiang Wanqing thought of something, so she stood on tiptoe and whispered something in Jiang Lingyi's ear.

After saying that, Jiang Wanqing took a step back.

Looking at Jiang Lingyi: "Brother, remember, you must do this well."

Jiang Lingyi's gentle face showed a hint of hesitation: "Do you really want to do this?"
